Leading Police Promotion Masterclasses​by Rank Success

I believe in giving a little help to the many capable officers who would make excellent Sergeants & Inspectors.I aim to make sure that every promotion candidate has fully prepared for the steep challenge of the promotion process. These Police Promotion Masterclasses will clarify the roles of a Sergeant and Inspector, provide mnemonics to help you structure your evidence 'on demand', help improve your confidence articulating your police leadership qualities and much much more.

If you can arrange a venue near you and an audience of 5 or more people, please feel free tocontact me to schedule a bespoke workshop! I also provide free seminars for groups of 100 or more promotion candidates.

“ I found Steve’s dynamic and positive delivery a real boost to my preparation. The mix of interview tips and motivational clips meant that I left the master-class ready for my Inspectors interview. Just six days later I was interviewed and passed it. By following Steve’s preparation tips I was calm and ready to tell the panel why I should be promoted. I have no doubt that this was the difference between passing and failing ”Julian - Passed Inspectors Promotion Board

" The workshop reinforced a belief that I had that I should be aiming to be number 1, not number 300 and to try and smash the board rather than stumble across the line. what worked was the emphasis on prepping for the interview, the guidance and tips for revising. ”Mark, Constable, passed Sergeant’s Promotion board

What Others Say

" The workshop made it very clear how much preparation was required and how best to structure that preparation. There were some excellent pointers on things that needed brushing up on - for instance - briefing and decision making that I may not have thought to look at… it gave me the focus and direction for my preparation. It is probably the most useful presentation I have ever had and was certainly the best in terms of actual presentation. I would recommend it to anyone seeking promotion. ”Simon, passed Sergeant’s Promotion board

" I had paid for and attended another independent 1-2-1 workshop…on reflection Rank Success has a more professional approach and is easy to follow. I found some of the quotes ‘stuck’ and the presenter very easy to listen to and confident. He gave me confidence. I thought the presentation and delivery was good…it was far more than I expected to receive!! ”Russ, A/Sgt, passed Sergeant’s Promotion board

“ I came away feeling inspired, confident about what to expect and full of self belief and drive to succeed. ”Andy - passed Sergeants’ promotion board (first time)

" Compared to a previous unsuccessful interview I felt completely different and more relaxed… I had attempted the Inspector board twice before….the golden secret to my success on this occasion…yourself/your company ”Steve - passed Inspector’s promotion board

" …cut through the fog of fear, confusion and nerves and gave me clarity about what I had to do to succeed… "Chris - passed Sergeant’s promotion board

“ ...really helped me to focus.
Despite the fact I was the only person who had never done any acting,
I’ve managed to pull it off… ”Tamzin - passed Sergeant’s promotion board (first time)

﻿﻿“ Cracking
that promotion interview was just something I couldn’t seem to do… just
what I needed… over 120 people applied for 12 Inspector jobs a few
months ago… I passed with flying colours "Mike - passed Inspector’s promotion board﻿﻿

﻿﻿“ I didn’t know anything about the promotion process so understanding exactly what I needed to cover was the most valuable….”Mary - passed Sergeant’s promotion board (first time)﻿﻿

More Information

Why these events are essential development...There is more to achieving promotion than simply having the right knowledge and experience. Competition for vacancies is tough. You need to articulate why YOU are the right candidate for the job. That can take time and hard (as well as smart) work to prepare. This masterclass will challenge, stimulate and provoke your thinking and help you develop new insights into the process (and more importantly, yourself) to better navigate the process and succeed.

What my Masterclass is about...It’s about what you want to achieve for yourself. Whether you have a promotion process ahead in the short term or want to maximise your potential by preparing ahead over a longer term; this masterclass is a valuable opportunity for you to take meaningful action to develop your knowledge, skills and understanding.

Who should attend?Qualified Constables and Sergeants aspiring to promotion who are keen to gain an ‘edge’ by doing what they can now to prepare ahead of opportunity.

Promotion masterclasses are designed to raise your awareness and boost your confidence. They provide you with the knowledge, tools and techniques to support effective preparation for your promotion opportunity. Professional delivery of these sessions draws on 28 years police service including direct experience in promotion processes.

Invest in your future

The transitions from Constable to Sergeant and from Sergeant to Inspector are major milestones in your policing career.

Investing in yourself to enhance your prospects of achieving promotion is a personal decision. Career development and progression, leadership experience and improved salary prospects are some common incentives for officers looking to make the move. When considering the return on your investment, Rank Success workshops offer tremendous value for money. A comparison of the potential return on investment through salary alone is shown below.
